The last time I looked at the compost bins was the 6th of June, https://localitystories.com/2026/06/06/2016-the-compost-bins/
I have to admit that they look unpleasant, but they don’t smell unpleasant and that is very important.
Hopefully, next week it will be a bit cooler. I have some jobs to do on the bins. I’m going to look at West. It’s quite likely that there is some good compost to be taken out of it. If I can get a couple of tub loads, that would be good. There’s going to be space in both of them to give them a good turn over, and I can put some cardboard in to help.
Whilst my view is that they don’t look good, and are too wet, my compost advisor is not so worried. She thinks that they are cold and wet, which is fine, as the composting process is kind of more chemical than biological; both end up with perfectly good compost.
I am disappointed that the composting is nott being bug driven, especially slow worms, but perhaps we can turn that around? I’lldo another report in a few weeks.
